DJ Lantern shares a remastered CDQ version of his original Jay Z “The Game Is Mine” remix which lived on his 2004 mixtape.
“So back in ’04 I got a call from Jay’s manager saying he wants me to do a 60 sec radio commercial for his new S Dot Tennis shoe he was releasing thru Reebok…So I taped a live tennis match, sampled the sounds of the ball, the racquet , sneakers on the court etc and made a beat out of it. Then I found vocal snippets where Jay mentioned sports etc and pieced together a nice little collage (like my tape intros)that made sense for the project..So Jay hears it and comes to Baseline where I was recording it, and says he loves the beat so much can i loop it for 3 mins, can i? lol
It was only released on a mixtape back then (heavy shoutouts, you know the drill)..so I remastered it for #TbtRemastered… CDQ,” – DJ Green Lantern
